Photos of Instruments made from my Plans
When people use my plans to make an instrument, I always request they send photos of their completed project. Here are a few of those photos, some from classes which I taught up to 2000, others more recent.
Octave Mandolas
Above, Ed's beautiful octave mandola, 2003.
Doug was on the Bristol course and continues to make - an octave mandola under construction, 2009.
Parlour Guitars
Small Steel String Guitars
Swindon, Bristol and Bath classes
Lutes
From the Swindon class and the Bristol class.
A lute under construction and two lute moulds in the Bristol classroom, c. 1998
Hammered Dulcimers
Begun on the Bristol course and finished many years later - what a fine job!
Excellent photos of a hammered dulcimer under construction.
Appalachian Dulcimers

Classical Guitars

Acoustic Bass Guitar
In 2008 Jos sent a photo of his prize winning acoustic bass and later sent a photo of himself and his award winning guitar
Here's a picture off the bass guitar i have build from the plan.
Good to know.....it won the third price [place] in Holland . www.dgbm.nl
It has custom made strings from la bella (brass wound steel) 042-060-080-095 these gauge are the best.
Thanks and best regards
